Is it ok to paint it on a ceiling? (3 questions)

Q1:
I've never painted before... and while I was searching for this Behr Paint, I saw some of them were labeled for &quot;ceiling.&quot; Do we use different type of paint for walls and ceilings?
Q2:
I am looking for a sample of Behr Premium Plus Ultra Pure White #1050.
I couldn't find it on the Home Depot website... Do they have them in the store?
Q3:
I found a 10 year old(probably older) Behr #1050 paint that the previous home owner had left...
It's not dried but looks kind of yellowish and smells like poison. I shouldn't use this, right...?
Thank you...

Asked by: Mimi

Q1 - Ceiling white is generally a flat paint and will give the feeling of more warmth in the room...,.. It's a good thing.
Q2 - I don't believe HD has &quot;Samples&quot;.
The high end paint stores have 4(?) ounce samples but the price of their paints make them VERY expensive.
Get the color swatch/cards and do the best you can. It'll be fine.
Q3 - Spread some on some cardboard every few days until it's all gone and dried up .
That's the only safe way of disposing it.
I wouldn't think of using paint that's questionable ~ it's too much work to worry about the price of the paint.

Do you have to add tint or can you use it straight from the can (unsure about solids content)?

Asked by: abc

This paint can be used straight out of the can or tinted. My wife and I chose to go with a light, antique white color by the name of &quot;Knit Cotton&quot;.

I need to paint a wall white that's already been pre painted dark brown do i need a first coat of primer?

The wall has designs colored in dark brown. I know this product has primer in in but i need to know if it's recommended to use a bucket of primer by it self first or can i achieve same result by using this product by it self?

Asked by: Elgin

It would cover your brown but not in one coat.
I was covering red but used a gallon of soft yellow I had sitting around as a base coat. It worked great. I still put 2 coats of white over it though. But that's just me.
I'll be repainting over the brown in my bedroom and will use the same yellow as a base then put the Behr white over it. I'll do my standard two coats over it too.

It used to be 2 coats with fresh texture. Not anymore !!! 4 coats for a Premium self priming paint is ridiculous! I am not a rookie, so this is definitely a product issue.

Cons:
I always put paint on with generous portions and still had to put two coats on. I was covering white paint over cream paint. (Maybe I'm a perfectionist and most people will be happy with one coat.)
Pros:
Final finish is beautiful.
Blends well and doesn't show brush or roller marks.
Dries fast so depending on the size of your job and weather conditions, you can get your job done in one day.
Easy clean up.
If your timing is right, you can take advantage of Behn rebate offer.

Painting walls and ceiling with this product. First pail worked beautifully. Good coverage, easy to use and virtually no spatter. The second pail (just recently purchased) spatters like crazy, like you would not believe. I made the mistake to think it would perform like the first pail. What a mess to clean up. Either a formula change or a bad batch. Beware.

I had a 11'x 11' room with 2 doors and a two vertical section roll out window. Behr paint always goes on well and is pretty much odorless. I usually can size up a room to the amount needed to do the job. I've been painting rooms for over 40 years in my house and at a part time job painting other homes.. I usually can get 1 good coat with an occasional 'faint missed area' ,here & there but a very light coat as a second coat completes the job on a room this size. I've always had a little left over to finish up. Not so this time. A good 1st coat but the 2 nd light coat never happened. those little missed areas don't show too much so I just settled for the present results. As it's been said,"Good enough for Govt work!" This is the 1st time I've used it with the primer in it. I wonder if that had anything to do with the short 2nd coat . hmmmmmmm !!

It's very easy to apply and covers everything very nicely. I used to use regular ceiling paint which did a poor job of covering/hiding previous surfaces; the P&P excels at that -- just one coat does the job. .

Also, I like the fact that you can buy samples and test the colors. We have a large area where depending on where the sun is, the color changes, so with the paint samples, I can test in several areas.

1 Coat Job DoneYou get what you pay for and Behr is pricey for a reason. This paint has primer and paint in one and I didn't even have to do a 2nd coat and this is from covering a bright lime green. Beautiful color and finish! Behr is the best!!!!
